Great looking transmission! I'm looking foward to hearing your thoughts on it, once you put it through the paces. Kind of curious what motor would be the best choice for this thing too. Motor selection becomes a little more critical, when you've only got one gear.

With the pinions given and the listed gear reduction for each gear, I will probably go with something in the 75 to 85 turn lathe motor. This tranny may end up behind one of the 1/12th scale Cat motor with the motor buried in it.

Not to derail here but it seems the cats are harder and harder to find now. I was searching yesterday on the bay and found none. Do you know of anywhere that has any in stock??
